All I know is that, when Bush was president, after 9/11, we were not attacked. Now that the Obamination is president, we are. The only reason this attack is not BIG is because the attackers screwed up and the bomb didn't work. Say what you want about Bush, but the US was not attacked then. Now they all know that BO is a joke who will do nothing.

AngelDawn many have tried to attack us since 9/11 some have came close. Reid tried to blow up a plane with a shoe bomb while Bush was President it is going to happen no way to make us perfectly safe and I am not willing to give up anymore freedoms or privacy in the name of "safety".

Angel. not precisely true. The shoe bomber was AFTER 9/11 and during the Bush presidency. It can also be argued that 9/11 happened BECAUSE there was a new president in the White House.

What is true is that there were no SUCCESSFUL attempts during the Bush presidency. Of course, the terrorists had little reason to come after us here...we were so kindly supplying them with targets in the form of US troops.

The terrorists would have done the same to John McCain this year. Doesn't matter WHO the president is. A new one WILL be tested. Just like little kids test the new adult in the house.

"There appears to be an increase in [terrorist] activity in the U.S.," warns Jenkins, who calculates that there have been 32 terror-related "events" on these shores since 9/11, and that 12 of those occurred in 2009

While it's true there were plenty of terrorist attempts during the Bush administration after 9/11, what I find "interesting" is that to this day, libs CONTINUE to blame Bush for somehow KNOWING about 9/11 BEFORE it happened.

OP, if Obama ALSO knew about the Christmas Day attempt, why isn't he being lambasted by the same people who continue to rake Bush over the coals?! Oh, I know, it's because Bush is a conservative Republican, and Obama is "one of them!" So let's just chalk this up to being yet ANOTHER "teachable moment" for Barry! LOL

9-11 because it was in the works for years. They couldn't give a hoot who our president is. Obama made people believe part of his hope and change was going to be a dialog with the terrorists. Guess that was another promise that fell thru the cracks. And to sit and say they knew it was going to happen? well its easy to be a monday morning quarterback.
